AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts	Do any of you guys foam roll? Is it worth investing in a good one? To be honest I have rarley used one. I would be interested to hear any of your thoughts on these and if they help much with flexibilty and recovery. Cheers.

Unless you're a multi million dollar athlete on the cusp of major acute muscle injury, of course.

Getting fat is just as dumb as using PED's Member 3387, 2532 posts SQ 275, BP 200, DL 290 765.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq	But you would look a c**t rolling around on a bottle of pop?

Not sure you need to be a multi million dollar athlete to spend £20 on a foam roller or £40-50 on a rumble roller?

I do very little stretching or mobility if I'm being honest. I have great flexibilty but weak as pish, so perhaps should try and spend more time doing some recovery work
